Vacations in a Jar

Make your vacations Unforgettable!

The edges of summer have burnt outand hopefully you all have some memories in your pocket of your summer vacations or mini getaways. There is a special way to keep and display your vacations in a little jar even after your bags are unpacked and you're back to work.

One of my best little girlfriends showed me her "memory jars" a few years ago and I was instantly in LOVE with this brilliant idea! I wanted to copy her ever since! Basically she puts little keepsakes and sentimental treasures and seals them with love in jars, creating a whimsical display of memories!

This is my friend's lineup ofmemories in a jar

Isn't this idea genius?

You can make these for special occasions, unforgettable moments, milestones, and fun times too.

Right now I am only doing Vacations in a Jar. I only have a couple done BUT if I waited to have it all "just right" I would never be able to share this with you because somehow this little project isn't getting finished! If I EVER finish this adorable idea, I will update you with a bigger lineup of my Memory Jars.

To Begin:

First I gathered and sortedmy vacation scraps and pics...

Then I packed theminto individual jars...

I added labels,(you can always do hanging labels too)...

And to embellish,I cut travel themed scrapbook paperto add to the jar lids...

Here is a sample of what I've started...

This is an enchantingway to save memories for always! And I am super excited about this unique way to hold onto all the good times.

These are so sweet! I love this idea. Years from now when you have too many to display I can imagine how much fun it will be to pull them out of a box and remember all those moments. Like little time capsules.

Hi Lisa, I love this idea and it's so fun to look at. You always have the best ideas and so creative. I'd love for you to join We're Organized Wednesday this week if you get a chance. Have a great week.

What a cute and creative idea, that I have a feeling I'll be "borrowing!" They look great perched on the suitcase, as well. Perfect! Take care, Becca@ADventuresinDecorating (PS: I'm visiting you from It's So Very Cheri)!
